Ailsa Dark -- Scotland’s newest Superhero!

When there are Werewolves in Sauchiehall Street, who you
gonna call?

Ailsa Dark -- Scotland’s
first line of defence against the supernatural!AILSA DARK, Scotland’s newest Comic Book Hero will be released on October 28th at the GEEK OUT Entertainment Expo & Comic Con!In October of last year we successfully launched our
anthology title Tales of Mystery and
Imagination, introducing the world to our horrific creation The Tattybogle Man. Now we’re adding
to our roster of Scottish-based horror comics with Ailsa Dark; chronicling the tales of a Scottish adventuress as she
protects the good folk of Glasgow
from supernatural threats.

Aided by Detective
Umair Farooq, Ailsa takes on a worldwide
criminal organisation in her first adventure -- Werewolves and Bampots!

Working Scottish folklore and history in with Lovecraftian
elements, Ailsa Dark will build a
rich tapestry of colourful characters and scenarios. “The first story-line will
run across two issues and introduce Ailsa and her supporting cast”, says
creator William Hazle, adding that “In typical comic book fashion, Ailsa has
two identities; one is the heroic crime fighter and the other is presenting
cult movies on a late-night cable channel.”

Featuring two stories in each issue -- Ailsa will share
her book with The Tattybogle Man who
will be bringing his unique brand of horror with him from Tales of Mystery and Imagination.

The third issue of the Tales of Mystery anthology has just been released. William
notes “We’re pleased that Tales of
Mystery has been successful enough to let us expand our roster of Scottish
comic book characters -- The Tattybogle
Man and Ailsa Dark are just the
start. We’re already planning our third on-going title and character.”

“Ailsa Dark’s publication will mark our first year
anniversary ”, says William “and we’re excited to be launching it at Geek Out, just in time for Halloween!”
